-# UltimateKEYS Keyboard Layout (Windows)
-International US-QWERTY layout with AltGr dead keys via AutoHotkey script and compiled KLC version (Windows).
+# UltimateKEYS Keyboard Layout (Windows/Linux)
-In UltimateKEYS, all keys remain exactly organized as US-QWERTY. Except, when AltGr or AltGr+Shift is pressed in combination with another key, other diacritics and symbols are accessible and some keys become dead keys.
+International US QWERTY layout with AltGr (Right Alt) dead keys via AutoHotkey (Win), MSKLC (Win), Xmodmap (Linux) and XKB (Linux, experimental). Derived from EurKEY (by Steffen Brüntjen).
-In that way, it is - somehow - similar to the layout "United States-International" (on Windows), although this project moves all dead key combinations to the modifiers AltGr and AltGr+Shift. That way, this project solves the most typical issues, among which the quotes (' and ") can be used as usual (without pressing the spacebar afterwards), while the acute accent (´) and diaeresis (¨) are found under AltGr and AltGr+Shift respectively. This project has borrowed several aspects from the EurKEY Keyboard Layout (by Steffen Brüntjen).

-## Script for AutoHotkey
+## Important - Security Warning :
-This AutoHotkey script is a highly customizable version of UltimateKEYS. To work properly, the Windows keyboard has to be set to standard US-QWERTY and at least AutoHotkey 1.1 (AutoHotkey_L) is required.
+**=> Win/Linux : Only use “BASIC LATIN” characters (codes 32 to 126) for your Windows, Microsoft Live and Linux passwords !**
+Otherwise, it might be impossible to type any Unicode character higher than “Basic Latin” at the login screen/prompt (due to a different keyboard configuration) ! **=> ACCOUNT LOCKOUT**
